Gina's Tips For Recipe Success
- Use a mandoline or food processor to cut the veggies and apples into thin, uniform pieces. You can also use a sharp knife, but it will take more time.
- Slice and shred the veggies and apples in advance, but toss with dressing closer to serving time to keep them crisp.
- Consider chilling the slaw for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Adjust the honey to taste, depending on the sweetness of your apples.
- Pour the dressing gradually to avoid a soggy slaw.
